Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a26e4

The workspace tooling is not ready to merge: lint and launch workflows are currently unusable or misleading, and SST debugging can fail for contributors without the hard-coded AWS profile.

Remove the hard-coded AWS_PROFILE override. All three launch configurations set AWS_PROFILE to flo-ct-flo360, and no repository setup contract makes that profile available to every developer. When a developer relies on shared AWS credentials and lacks this profile, AWS credential resolution can fail before SST or sst bind starts. Let the existing environment select the profile, or use an environment-specific VS Code value.

official VS Code documentation task.allowAutomaticTasks setting accepted values current

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
The VS Code setting task.allowAutomaticTasks accepts two official values: "on" and "off" [1][2]. - on: Always allows tasks configured with "runOn": "folderOpen" to run automatically when opening a trusted workspace [1]. - off: Disables automatic task execution [1]. This is the default setting [1][3]. When this setting is set to "off" and a workspace contains automatic tasks, VS Code will prompt the user to Allow or Disallow them the first time the workspace is opened [1][3]. If "Disallow" is chosen, or "off" is explicitly set, the tasks will not run, and the user will not be prompted again for that workspace [1][4]. Note that automatic tasks never execute in untrusted workspaces, regardless of this setting [1][2].

Use a package that defines the lint script.

The supplied root package.json has no lint script. After the task is correctly registered, npm run lint will fail from the workspace root. Add a root script or set the task working directory to the package that defines lint.

In Visual Studio Code, launch.json and tasks.json serve distinct purposes for managing your development environment [1][2]. Both files are stored in the.vscode folder of your workspace [3][4]. launch.json The launch.json file is used to configure the debugger [3][5]. It defines how your application starts or attaches to a process for debugging, allowing you to set parameters such as environment variables, command-line arguments, and specific entry points [3][6][7]. Configurations defined here appear in the Run and Debug view, allowing you to trigger them via the user interface [1][7]. tasks.json The tasks.json file is used to configure and run external tools and scripts [4]. It is ideal for automating processes such as building, linting, testing, or deploying code [4][1]. Tasks can be triggered via the Terminal menu or the Command Palette and can be used to handle build jobs or watcher processes that run alongside your main application [4][1]. Integration These files can work together [2]. You can link them using specific attributes within your launch.json configuration: preLaunchTask: This attribute allows you to specify a task from tasks.json that should be executed automatically before a debug session starts (e.g., a build task) [3][4][2]. postDebugTask: This attribute allows you to run a task after the debug session finishes [3]. Common Features Both files support variable substitution (e.g., ${workspaceFolder}, ${file}) to make configurations dynamic and portable across different machines or environments [8]. You can use IntelliSense within these files to explore available attributes and properties by pressing Ctrl+Space (or Cmd+Space on macOS) [3][9][8].

What is the difference between them? ## Answers ### Answer by Cobus Kruger (score: 67 [ACCEPTED]) They are not both used to setup the build configuration. launch.json is used for to launch an app for debugging. It has settings geared for things like mapping to your workspace source code or defining the Chrome port to use. To use a configuration from launch.json, you select it on the Debug panel and click the run button. tasks.json is used to execute anything else you may want, be that source code formatters, bundlers or a SASS compiler. To use a configuration from tasks.json, you select Run Task from the command list. Here&`#39`;s an example of how they differ in purpose: I have an Angular 5 application that connects to a .NET web service. I have one task configured to run the web service, using a command that fires up IISExpress. I have another task configured to run the Angular app using ng serve, which recompiles the app when files change. I execute these two tasks whenever I reopen VS Code, or when the web service changes. I have two launch configurations as well: One to launch Chrome and start the debugger, and another to debug a page already loaded in Chrome. These I execute whenever I start a debug session. <title>Tech Blog: The role of launch.json and tasks.json in VSCode</title> https://blog.andypotts.com/2023/12/the-role-of-launchjson-and-tasksjson-in.html Tech Blog: The role of launch.json and tasks.json in VSCode Launch.json describes the activity that takes place when the debugger is launched or the program is started. It can rely upon a task defined in tasks.json - see " preLaunchTask". You can reference variables defined in settings.json. You can build up a dependency tree of tasks using "dependsOn". If you want to launch an application such as an emulator as part of the debugger - and leave it running - then you define it as a background task. But it is necessary to set a problem watcher for it to work. You will need to manually close the task in VSCode when you are done debugging. <title>Visual Studio Code debug configuration</title> https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/debugtest/debugging-configuration For complex debugging scenarios or applications, you need to create a`launch.json` file to specify the debugger configuration. For example, to specify the application entry point, attach to a running application, or to set environment variables. ... ## Launch configurations ... However, for most debugging scenarios you need to create a debugging configuration (launch configuration). For example, to specify the application entry point, attach to a running application, or set environment variables. Creating a launch configuration file is also beneficial because it allows you to configure and save debugging setup details with your project. ... VS Code stores debugging configuration information in a`launch.json` file located in the`.vscode` folder in your workspace (project root folder), or in your user settings or workspace settings. ... VS Code also supports compound launch configurations for starting multiple configurations at the same time. ... ## Create a debug configuration file ... To create an initial`launch.json` file: ... Select create a launch.json file in the Run and Debug view. ... Based on the selected debug environment, VS Code creates a starter configuration in the`launch.json` file. ... You can now edit the`launch.json` file to add more configurations or modify existing ones. ... ### Add a configuration to launch.json ... To add a new configuration to an existing`launch.json`, use one of the following techniques: ... - Choose the Run > Add Configuration menu option. - Use IntelliSense if your cursor is located inside the configurations array. - Press the Add Configuration button and then select a snippet to add a predefined configuration. ... ## Start a debugging session with a launch configuration ... To start a debug session with a launch configuration: ... Select the configuration named Launch Program using the Configuration dropdown in the Run and Debug view. ... The list of available configurations matches those in the`launch.json` file. ... Start your debug session with F5 or select Start Debugging (play icon) in Run and Debug view. ... , you can run your configuration through the Command Palette ( ... (Windows, Linux Ctrl+Shift+ ... )) by filtering on Debug: Select ... Start Debugging or typing`&`#39`;debug &`#39`;` and selecting the configuration you want to debug. ... ## Launch versus attach configurations ... In VS Code, there are two core debugging modes, Launch and Attach, which handle two different workflows and segments of developers. Depending on your workflow, it can be confusing to know what type of configuration is appropriate for your project. ... VS Code debuggers typically support launching a program in debug mode or attaching to an already running program in debug mode. Depending on the request (`attach` or`launch`), different attributes are required, and VS Code&`#39`;s`launch.json` validation and suggestions should help with that. ... ## Launch.json attributes ... There are many`launch.json` attributes to help support different debuggers and debugging scenarios. You can use IntelliSense (⌃Space (Windows, Linux Ctrl+Space)) to see the list of available attributes once you have specified a value for the`type` attribute. The attributes available in launch configurations vary from debugger to debugger. ... The following attributes are mandatory for every launch configuration: ... - `name`- the reader-friendly name to appear in the Debug launch configuration dropdown. - `request`- the request type of this launch configuration. Currently, launch and`attach` are supported. - `type`- the type of debugger to use for this launch configuration. Every installed debug extension introduces a type:`node` for the built-in Node debugger, for example, or`php` and`go` for the PHP and Go extensions. ... - `postDebugTask`- to launch a task at the very end of a debug session, set this attribute to the name of a task specified in tasks.json(in the workspace&`#39`;s`.vscode` folder). ... - `preLaunchTask`- …[truncated] <title>Integrate with External Tools via Tasks</title> https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/debugtest/tasks These tools are mostly run from the command line and automate jobs inside and outside the inner software development loop (edit, compile, test, and debug). Given their importance in the development life cycle, it is helpful to be able to run tools and analyze their results from within VS Code. Tasks in VS Code can be configured to run scripts and start processes so that many of these existing tools can be used from within VS Code without having to enter a command line or write new code. Workspace or folder specific tasks are configured from the `tasks.json` file in the `.vscode` folder for a workspace. ... contribute tasks using a Task Provider, ... these contributed tasks can ... in the `tasks ... You can also define the TypeScript build or watch task as the default build task so that it is executed directly when triggering Run Build Task (⇧⌘B (Windows, Linux Ctrl+Shift+B)). To do so, select Configure Default Build Task from the global Terminal menu. This shows you a picker with the available build tasks. Select tsc: build or tsc: watch and VS Code will generate a `tasks.json` file. The one shown below makes the tsc: build task the default build task: ... // See ... ://go.microsoft.com/ ... =733 ... // ... ": "2 ... 0.0", "tasks": ... { " ... "typescript", " ... ": "tsconfig ... ", "problem ... tsc"], "group": ... "kind": "build", " ... In addition, ... with the following content: ... Press the gear icon. This will create the following `tasks.json` file: ... If you want to specify the selected Python interpreter used by the Python extension for `tasks.json` or `launch.json`, you can use the `${command:python.interpreterPath}` command. ... ### Can a background task be used as a `prelaunchTask` in launch.json? ... Yes. Since a background task will run until killed, a background task on its own has no signal that it has "completed". To use a background task as a `prelaunchTask`, you must add an appropriate background `problemMatcher` to the background task so that there is a way for the task system and debug system to know that the task "finished". ... Your task could be: ... ``` { "type": "npm", "script": "watch", "problem ... watch", " ... Background": true ... You can then use the task as a `prelaunchTask` in your `launch.json` file: ... ``` { "name": "Launch Extension", "type": "extensionHost", "request": "launch", "runtimeExecutable": "${execPath}", "args": ["--extensionDevelopmentPath=${workspaceRoot}"], "stopOnEntry": false, "sourceMaps": true, "outFiles": ["${workspaceRoot}/out/src/**/*.js"], "preLaunchTask": "npm: watch" } ``` <title>Configure C/C++ debugging</title> https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/cpp/launch-json-reference A `launch.json` file is used to configure the debugger in Visual Studio Code. ... Visual Studio Code generates a `launch.json` (under a `.vscode` folder in your project) with almost all of the required information. To get started with debugging you need to fill in the `program` field with the path to the executable you plan to debug. This must be specified for both the launch and attach (if you plan to attach to a running instance at any point) configurations. ... The generated file contains two sections, one that configures debugging for launch and a second that configures debugging for attach. ... ``` { "name": "C++ Launch (Windows)", "type": "cppvsdbg", "request": "launch", "program": "C:\\app1\\Debug\\app1.exe", "symbolSearchPath": "C:\\Symbols;C:\\SymbolDir2", "externalConsole": true, "logging": { "moduleLoad": false, "trace": true }, "visualizerFile": "${workspaceFolder}/my.natvis", "showDisplayString": true } ... ## Configure the target application ... The following options enable you to modify the state of the target application when it is launched: ... { " ... ## Customizing GDB or LLDB ... ### setupCommands ... "target- ... ### customLaunchSetupCommands ... If provided, this replaces the default commands used to launch a target with some other commands. For example, this can be "-target-attach" in order to attach to a target process. An empty command list replaces the launch commands with nothing, which can be useful if the debugger is being provided launch options as command-line options. Example: `"customLaunchSetupCommands": [ { "text": "target-run", "description": "run target", "ignoreFailures": false }]`. ... ### launchCompleteCommand ... ``` { "name": "C++ Launch", "type": "cppdbg", "request": "launch", "program": "${workspaceFolder}/a.out", "stopAtEntry": false, "customLaunchSetupCommands": [ { "text": "target-run", "description": "run target", "ignoreFailures": false } ], "launchCompleteCommand": "exec-run", "linux": { "MIMode": "gdb", "miDebuggerPath": "/usr/bin/gdb" }, "osx": { "MIMode": "lldb" }, "windows": { "MIMode": "gdb", "miDebuggerPath": "C:\\MinGw\\bin\\gdb.exe" } } ... Indicates whether the configuration section is intended to `launch` the program or `attach` to an already running instance. ... Indicates the underlying debugger being used. Must be `cppvsdbg` when using the Visual Studio Windows debugger, and `cppdbg` when using GDB or LLDB. This is automatically set to the correct value when the `launch.json` file is created.

Run the lint command instead of the font file.

Node exits with ERR_UNKNOWN_FILE_EXTENSION for ./public/fonts/fa-solid-500.woff2, but the final echo '' returns exit code 0. VS Code therefore reports success without running ESLint. Replace the command with the repository lint command, or remove the automatic task.
